Electronic Arts announces that it will close down its sci-fi massively multiplayer online role-playing game in September.

Electronic Arts has recently updated its official Earth & Beyond Web site with the unfortunate news that its "online role-playing galaxy" will effectively cease to be on September 22, 2004. The massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), which was developed by Westwood Studios, will have been in operation for a little more than two years when it is switched off.

EA made the decision to close the game so that it can focus its resources on future games. Players are advised to check their e-mail accounts for updates and information on what this announcement means for them.

Jumpgate rules and is a great game, at least on the European server. I never played on the US server. It seems to be more PvP oriented overthere. It is the closest thing to Privateer you can get for money.

I'm glad to hear that about the US Server. On our stations there is only Basic Equipment in stock. If we want something special (Purgs, MS, even Sport+), we have to produce it. That often means we have to sit into a Mining Boat and start the chain from that point. Oooops, it is getting Off-Topic.
Btw. I know your JG-Nick, because you are writing quite often at the Jumpgate Forum! You can find me : http://www.jossh.de/terminal_civilian.html
